Happy Making

A new little bird for the wall bird collection. Aren't her eyebrows something?

A photo shoot interrupted by Pip. I can never get mad at her because she's so flippin' cute.

My bracelet by Eli. Isn't he a cutie? Becky over at Strumpet's Crumpets is letting him make them and sell them and he's just crocheting away, let me tell you! He only charges $2.50 per bracelet and that includes shipping. I even got to choose my favorite color. He's seven years old and I just love the idea of him crafting and making his own money. If you'd like to support his endeavor, go here. I'm pretty sure that they're the must-have accessory for Spring!

Finally, I want to share this smile inducing video that I first saw thanks to the amazing ladies over at Modern Kiddo. It's hard to believe that I actually lived through the eighties without laughing myself into stitches. I guess hindsight truly is 20/20. Just watching this thing leaves me out of breath and gives me ghost wedgies.

After you're done watching, try out some fitness faces in the mirror. If you need more inspiration, check out Alan Thicke singing "Sweaty and Hot".

That's a lot of innuendo that Robin is putting down, no?

If you've never been over to Modern Kiddo, trust me...bookmark them now. They come up with some of THE coolest things that I've ever seen. You'll thank yourself.

I couldn't get past the Alan Thicke lyric "But now...you met some new guy at the gym"....and "Spectacular! Cardiovascular!" The hair. The aerobic dancing. The emphatic left hand only gesturing. I am in my cubicle...backstage at the library... having a FIT. Oh! I needed a good laugh inspiration this morning, and THIS WAS IT. Thanks!

(additionally, I need to go wash my eyes out with some same-era Huey Lewis now...make the pain go away, Huey!)

Hi! I'm Eartha Kitsch! Even though I DO enjoy a good salad, this site isn't about that kind of ranch dressing. It's about the restoration, decoration and revival of my vintage ranch home. It's also about things that I consider "dressing" like fun housewares, clothing, recipes and everything else in this old world that makes life interesting and good.

I live in Nashville, Tennessee and love crazy old Western things, kitsch, thrifting, swishy skirts, old photos and stories about people that I don't know (and people that I do know), crafting, absurdity, crafting with absurdity... and a million things more. Won't you join me? Y'all come!

Be a Ranch Buckaroo!
